I will begin with the first three in this post and then come back to the others a little later so keep an eye out, or subscribe, to read the next in the series.
No two clients or applications are the same which is what makes Architecture so enjoyable for me!
Outline Planning | Full Planning | Householder Planning
Outline Planning: this is good to gain an understanding as to whether the nature of a development is acceptable.
Full Planning: this is required when making detailed proposals for developments which are not covered by a householder application or permitted development rights. This is commonly the case for new buildings of any kind and any ‘commercial’ project.
Householder Planning: this is for proposals to alter or enlarge a single house, including works within the boundary/garden.
OUTLINE PLANNING:
Outline Planning Permission has changed over the years and now is more of an involved process but is still often used by developers and investors. The minimum to be submitted is information regarding use, amount, position, access. This still allows an investor or developer to save on the costs of preparing full detailed plans but the application costs and timescales are similar.

Outline Planning Permission form is generally used to find out at an early stage whether or not a proposal is likely to be approved by the planning authority, before any substantial costs are incurred. This type of planning application allows fewer details about the proposal to be submitted leading the way for details to be agreed following a “reserved matters” application at a later stage. There are five matters which can be reserved for subsequent approval as follows:
- access - covers accessibility for all routes to and within the site, as well as the way they link up to other roads and pathways outside the site
- appearance - aspects of a building or place which affect the way it looks, including the exterior of the development
- landscaping - the improvement or protection of the amenities of the site and the area and the surrounding area, this could include planting trees or hedges as a screen
- layout - includes buildings, routes and open spaces within the development and the way they are laid out in relations to buildings and spaces outside the development
- scale - includes information on the size of the development, including the height, width and length of each proposed building
While some applications are straightforward and a decision can be made by the planning authority without detailed information, other proposals may need more information to be provided.
It is always a good idea to talk to the local authority about the information they need to be included before submitting an application though I often have discussions with the local authority during the application period as they ask for further details and information to be provided after reviewing the initial submission.
Once outline planning permission has been granted, a ’reserved matters’ application must be made within a maximum of three years of the consent. The details of the application must be in accord with the outline approval, including any conditions attached to the permission.
FULL PLANNING:
A Full Planning Application sounds like, and can be, a complex process. It is something that you build up to as the design process progresses and you add layers of information to the project. It is required when making detailed proposals for new buildings or any kind and any commercial project.
Alongside the design work you will also be guided through the other elements that are required to accompany this; everything from ecology reports and environment considerations to materials specifications and access statements.
Examples of other building works which may require this type of planning permission include:
- structural alterations of or additions to buildings including:
- any works relating to a flat,
- applications to change the number of dwellings (i.e. flat conversions, building a separate house in the garden),
- changes to use of part or all of the property to non-residential uses,
- anything outside the garden of the property (i.e. stables in a separate paddock)
- demolition of buildings
- rebuilding
- other work normally undertaken by a builder
Planning permission will also be necessary, in most cases, if there is a proposed change of use of buildings or other land.
HOUSEHOLDER PLANNING:
This is arguably the most common type of application submitted in a town like Llandeilo where extensions are more common than new buildings. Although that said I enjoy the variety that the beautiful properties in this area generate.
When the proposal is to alter or enlarge a single house then the application for planning permission will be called a Householder Application. This can be just as complex as a Full Planning Application as details of the design, materials and context are all still required along with the other considerations mentioned before.
We use this type of application for projects such as:
- Extensions
- Conservatories
- Loft conversions
- Dormer windows
- Garages, car ports and outbuildings
But please note that planning permission is not needed for all household building work, I will discuss this and what you can carry out under permitted development rules in the next post.
